And it left little doubt that the most important gains Trump made between his 2020 defeat and his 2024 win were not among young voters or Black voters or white working-class voters, but among Latino voters: In 2020, Joe Biden won Hispanic voters by 25 percentage points, and Hispanic voters supported Hillary Clinton by an even wider margin in 2016. But Trump drew nearly even with Kamala Harris among Hispanic voters, losing among them by only 3 points.
If you are dissatisfied, if you are not OK with what's going on, then I'm your candidate, Behn said. If you think things are fine, I am not your candidate. If you are upset with the cost and chaos, I am your candidate. We have been working to build a coalition of the disenchanted, a coalition of the pissed off, and I think it's working to our favor.
A new Reuters poll shows President Trump's approval rating falling to its lowest level, apparently because of prices and the Epstein files, Varney began, adding: His approval rating sits at 39% [should be 38%], down nine points from when he took office.
Among 1,291registered voters, 55% said they'd vote for the Democratic candidate in their Housedistrict, compared to 41% who said they'd back the Republican, according to a NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll national survey conducted last week. Another 3% said they would vote for another party's candidate, and 1% were unsure. When voters were last asked the question, back in November of last year, they were evenlydivided, 48% to 48%.
The survey of 1,443 adults, conducted from Nov. 10-13 found: Democrats holding their largest advantage, 14 points, on the question of who respondents would vote for if the midterm elections were held today; President Trump's approval rating is just 39%, his lowest since right after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol; A combined 6-in-10 blame congressional Republicans or Trump for the government shutdown; and Nearly 6-in-10 say Trump's top priority should be lowering prices and no other issue comes close.
Under the headline, Democrats Start Their Comeback, and sub-headline, A warning for the GOP from New Jersey and Virginia on affordability and Trump's unpopularity, the Journal observed that President Trump rolled to victory in 2024 promising to reduce inflation and make middle-class life more affordable. The warning to Republicans in Tuesday's election results is that Democrats are turning the tables on affordability, especially when they steer clear of leftist cultural snares.
According to a new poll out Sunday from NBC News, the president's approval rating currently sits at 43 percent compared to 55 percent who disapprove of his job performance. That approval number represents a 4 percent drop from his standing in March. The dissatisfaction with Trump extends to the entire Republican party, the poll found. On the generic Congressional ballot, Democrats lead Republicans by a sizable 8-point margin 50-42.
According to the Silver Bulletin's polling averages, his net approval rating was at minus-8 percent on July 25 and is at minus-8.4 percent on September 22. Trump's second-term job-approval averages started at plus-11.7 percent on January 21, went underwater in March, bottomed out in mid-July at minus-10.3 percent, then increased a bit and stayed put. That means Trump is less popular than any post-World War II president at this stage in their presidency, other than himself during his first term.
The findings are remarkably consistent with past polling on the Republican president in the nation's most populous blue state, said Mark DiCamillo, director of the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies Poll. "If you look at all the job ratings we've done about President Trump - and this carries back all the way through his first term - voters have pretty much maintained the same posture," DiCamillo said. "Voters know who he is."
